Anxiety and Depression - "Can I Ask That?" Week 2

Pastor Brian Howard preaches out of Psalm 13 on anxiety and depression, and on what the Bible has to say about mental illness. 

Foundations for this message:

• Good Christians struggle with anxiety and depression 
• Mental illness is not a sin
• The Bible is filled with people who struggle with what we would call “Anxiety” and “Depression”
  • David, Elijah, Jonah, Job, Moses, Jeremiah 
• Not all stress is anxiety. Not all sadness is depression. 
• Your suffering is real and we are with you in it

Your next steps if you struggle with anxiety or depression:

• Tell your parents
• Consider professional counseling 
• Consider physician prescribed medication
• Choose to be around other Christians who love you and care for you 
• Choose to worship in the waiting 

Doubt - Can I Ask That?

Pastor Brian Howard preaches out of John 20:24-31 on the topic of doubt, and on the role doubt plays in the Christian life. Doubt can either push us toward Jesus or draw us away from Jesus, so we need to be aware of how to handle it in a healthy way.
